There is another melanocyte-stimulating hormone called β-melanotropin.Cleavage of β-melanotropin with trypsin produces the following peptidesplus free aspartic acid. WGSPPK DSGPYK MEHFRIf you assume maximum sequence similarity between α-melanotropin andβ-melanotropin, then what must the sequence of the latter be?
The ABO blood group antigens are the terminal sugars covalently linked to the end of the glycolipid in the red blood cellmembrane. The H antigen is the precursor of the A and Bantigens. Individuals with type A blood produce a gene thatcodes for an enzyme that adds N-acetylgalactosamine in ana(1,3) linkage to the Gal* residue in the H antigen. Type Bblood requires that an enzyme add a d-a galactose in an a(1,3) linkage to the Gal*. Draw the structures of the A andB antigens.
One of the causes of morbidity for the Zika Virus is Guillain-Barré Syndrome, an immune attack of nerve cells. One possible mechanism for this is the virus's interference with normal immune function. In HIV the virus uses the CD4 receptor to enter T-cells. To assess if this might be a possibility in Zika infections BLAST the CD4 Reference Sequence (NG 027688.1) against the Zika Virus (taxid:64320) choosing "blastn" under Program Selection (select all that apply): O None of the recovered sequences have identities of greater than 80%. O Multiple Zika virus isolates are observed to have E-values of less than 0.02. O High scoring BLAST hits are observed in Zika virus isolates from humans, mosquitoes, and monkeys. O The BLAST hits return a partial cds collected in Uganda in 1947 - isolate Uganda1947.
Sickle cell anemia is caused by a point mutation in the β-globin chain of hemoglobin. Glutamic acid is replaced by Valine. HBB sequence in normal adult hemoglobin (Hb A): Leu-Thr-Pro-Glu-Glu-Lys-Ser HBB sequence in mutant adult hemoglobin (Hb S): Leu-Thr-Pro-Val-Glu-Lys-Ser What effect does this mutation have on the structure and function of the protein? Predict what would happen to the RBC if the glutamic acid was replaced with asparagine instead of valine.

Hurler syndrome is due to a mutation in a gene that encodes aprotein called α-l-iduronidase. This protein functions withinlysosomes as an enzyme that breaks down mucopolysaccharides(a type of polysaccharide that has many acidic groups attached).When this enzyme is defective, excessive amounts of the mucopolysaccharides dermatan sulfate and heparin sulfate accumulatewithin the lysosomes, especially in liver cells and connectivetissue cells. This accumulation leads to symptoms such as anenlarged liver and spleen, bone abnormalities, corneal clouding,heart problems, and severe neurological problems. The pedigreebelow contains three members affected with Hurler syndrome,indicated with black symbols. Based on this pedigree, does thissyndrome appear to follow autosomal recessive, autosomaldominant, X-linked recessive, or X-linked dominant inheritance?Explain your reasoning.
(a) Answer all sections (i)- (Iv). Below is given the structure of three anti-HIV drugs: OH Meo. OMe NH Ph Nevirapine Atazanavir Staudivine (i) Give the drug target and discuss the anti-HIV mechanism of each of these drugs. Vaccines are an attractive prophylactic treatment against both viral and bacterial diseases. A number of glycaconjugate vaccines using bacterial polysaccharide structures conjugated to protein carriers have been introduced into mass vaccination schemes with excellent results. What differences are there in the immune response to a glycoconjugate vaccine as compared to a polysaccharide vaccine? These glycoconjugate va nes has been used for 30 years without any change in their structures, while the composition of the flu vaccine, based on attenuated or killed virus particies, is changed from year to year. Discuss the reason behind this. (iv) Discuss why it has not been possible to develop a (part structure) vaccine against the HIV virus, based on either I) viral…

A 30 - year - old woman was undergoing therapy for b-thalassemia,a recessive trait caused by absence of or reduced synthesis ofthe hemoglobin b chain, a subunit of the oxygen-carrying moleculein red blood cells. In this condition, red blood cells are rapidlydestroyed, freeing a large amount of iron, which is deposited in tissuesand organs. The blood transfusions the patient had received every twoor three weeks since the age of 7 to stave off anemia were furtheraggravating iron buildup. Her major organs were showing damage, andshe was in danger of death from cardiac disease. Her physician suggestedthat she consider undergoing a hematopoietic (bone marrow)stem cell transplant (HSCT). Since these stem cells give rise to redblood cells, such a transplant could potentially restore her health. Whilethis might seem like an easy decision, it is not. Advanced cases havea high risk (almost 30 percent) for transplantation-related death. At thispoint, the woman is faced with a difficult and…
